About the role
The Enterprise Architect is a strategic, part time leadership role responsible for aligning Beyond Blue’s technology landscape with our organisational strategy and transformation priorities. Reporting to the Head of Information Technology, you will define and evolve our current and target enterprise architecture, establish practical architecture governance, and develop clear principles and roadmaps to guide technology investment, modernisation and decision making. Working collaboratively across the organisation, you will bring together solution, data, application, security and other architecture perspectives to create a cohesive and sustainable technology environment. You will lead a team of three and focus your expertise on the highest value and highest risk decisions, helping Beyond Blue make informed choices that are scalable, secure and aligned with our long term direction.
About you
You are an experienced enterprise architecture leader who can connect organisational strategy, business capabilities and technology direction. You bring broad expertise across applications, integration, data, cloud, digital, infrastructure, cyber security and privacy, together with the judgement to apply recognised architecture frameworks pragmatically within a complex, evolving organisation. You are a trusted adviser and collaborative leader who can influence senior stakeholders, technology specialists and external partners without relying on direct authority. You communicate complex concepts clearly, facilitate constructive decision making and know how to balance innovation with security, privacy, operational, commercial and organisational considerations.
